Minerals are the building blocks of rocks, and the types of minerals and their chemistry provide critical information about rock formation and history. On Mars, NASA’s Perseverance rover, equipped with the Planetary Instrument for X-ray…

Most of the ordinary matter in the universe is hydrogen. But surprisingly, less than 20% of this hydrogen sits inside galaxies. The rest lies in the vast spaces between them – the so-called intergalactic medium.

This cosmic reservoir is…

Paleontologists have identified a new species of extinct crocodyliform from the fossilized remains of a juvenile individual found in southwest Montana, the United States.

They came from outer space: 75 mice, over 1,500 flies, cell cultures, microorganisms, plant seeds and more.

A Russian biological research satellite toting more than 30 experiments landed on Sept. 19 in the steppes of the Orenburg region after…

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) — the country’s largest organization of Earth and space scientists, engineers, and technologists in Greenbelt, Maryland — is making drastic changes following severe budget cuts proposed by the…

Anyone hungry for the icy crunch of a Pluto-like body? No? Well, one nearby white dwarf is going all in on a Pluto-esque snack.

According to NASA, the Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a “burned-out star” snacking on a “fragment of a Pluto-like…

Small fragments of rock can reveal a lot when they’re analyzed with powerful laboratory instruments. New research into tiny fragments of the asteroid Ryugu sampled by JAXA’s Hayabusa2 mission showed that water flowed through it more than…

Peptide immobilization was done via a copper-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction, by coupling the ethynyl group of the C-terminal propargylglycine residue to azide-modified SPR gold chips (Xantec AZD-50 L) (Fig. S1). These chips feature a 50 nm…
